Change From Baseline in Investigator's Rating of Standardized Global Photographs at Week 12
The Investigator or a trained grader rated each participant's standardized global photographs for improvement from baseline for parameters like hair thinning, hair growth, impression of scalp hair coverage and overall perception of treatment benefit using a 1-to-7-point Likert scale. Investigator global photograph rating were assessed using 7-point Likert scale. Each score on the individual scale ranged from 1 (minimum) to 7 (maximum), that is, (1) Entirely Disagree; (2) Mostly Disagree; (3) Somewhat Disagree; (4) Neither Agree nor Disagree; (5) Somewhat Agree; (6) Mostly Agree; (7) Entirely Agree.
Time frame: At Week 12
Change From Baseline in Participant Rating at Week 12
Participants rated the parameters like appearance of hair, growth of hair, satisfaction with hairline at the front of the head, satisfaction with hair on the top of the head and satisfaction with hair overall as an overall improvement from the baseline by conducting their own assessments by looking in a mirror and evaluating improvement from baseline using a 1 to 7-point Likert scale. Each score on the individual scale ranged from 1 (minimum) to 7 (maximum), that is, (1) Entirely Disagree; (2) Mostly Disagree; (3) Somewhat Disagree; (4) Neither Agree nor Disagree; (5) Somewhat Agree; (6) Mostly Agree; (7) Entirely Agree.
Time frame: At Week 12
Mean Change From Baseline in Shed Hair Count

Time frame: At Week 12
